When you reset it to the default, Claude Code used to say \"Effort level set to auto\". It now names the default level actually in use. The message shown when `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` is still controlling the session does the same.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe message stays accurate when the default is something other than auto, so you can see which level you are really on.\n\n- Area: Effort\n- Names: `\/effort`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
